Since the book is not anticipated to be published before the Autumn of 2010, on the contrary I would very much like that it covers at least version 2.8, or still better, version 3.0.

Since I intend to write a very thorough book (about 800 pages in English, about 550 in French because the publisher cannot afford more), I have a lot of work in other areas, and I can wait until things are stabilized. But I want to follow the progress as much as possible. The American publisher is No Starch, and the French one is Pearson.
Do you think this approach is sensible?
